I couldn't believe this. I saw it with my own eyes. Maybe someone should tell Charlie that he is helping to fund racism, bigotry and anti semitism. I don't blame DISH, because they probably don't know.

Browsing through the internet, (I will not post the link) I stumbled upon an absoluutely disgusting website with all sorts of racist, bigoted and anti semitic statements. I then realized it was the website for Hal Turner's radio show, which airs monday night on a shortwave radio station (Shortwave was a hobby of mine). Lo and behold, I saw an ad for Dish network on the website.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't think DISH is to blame for this in any way. But I don't think CHarlie would like his name to be associated with racism and bigotry.

You are correct, but consider this:

If Dish were advertising with 90% of the so called "Christian" churches of today, he would also be supporting racism, bigotry and anti semitism :shrug:

Just a little food for thought !

I was guessing that the "Dish advertising" was just for some Dish retailer, but I hit the front door of the Hal Turner site, and I can't find anything with Dish on it. I really don't want to dig through this site to look for a Dish ad. :eek:

Folks like this are what Free Speech is all about. I feel sorry for anyone who believes his spew, especially him, but we need the free exchange of ideas so educated folks can tell the garbage from the truth. Now I've gotta go take a shower. :ewww:

It's on the "listen live" section.

As I suspected, it's just an affiliate link to VMC Satellite, which sells and installs Dish stuff. I know that a year or two ago, E* did a good job of shutting down some spamming installers, but I don't know that they'd dare to go after a retailer that just advertises on questionable web sites.

Now please, don't make me look at the Hal Turner site again, okay? Yuk!
